Re: MG-A with Datsun 1800 needs to get FAST!

@510rob:
the forged H-beam rods I found are available off the shelf for ~270 USD!
They are 150mm long, match in big end diameter and width and have a 23mm small end for a full floating wrist pin.
nice find I think!

Re: MG-A with Datsun 1800 needs to get FAST!

Righty right ... Great analysys :) I think you guys are right ... it depends if the FIA officials will allow me to run a L engine!
